Every proposal is different—and that’s exactly how it should be. Whether you arrive with a fully formed vision or no plan at all, I’m here to help you create a proposal that feels natural, personal, and effortless.
If you already know how you want the moment to unfold, I’ll make sure it’s executed seamlessly and exactly as you imagine. If you’re unsure where to begin, I’ll guide you through the possibilities and help design a proposal experience that fits your relationship. This is your day—I’m simply here to elevate it and ensure it’s even better than you envisioned.
As a proposal photographer in the Smoky Mountains, I specialize in creating experiences that extend beyond the question itself. Your session is designed to feel romantic, playful, and full of meaningful moments—so the excitement doesn’t stop once they say yes.
Behind the scenes, I handle the planning details that make everything flow smoothly. From helping you craft a convincing cover story to providing restaurant guides, timing recommendations, and clear step-by-step guidance, I help map out the day so you can stay fully present and enjoy the moment without stress.
My proposal sessions are designed to feel thoughtful and fully supported — never rushed or transactional. This isn’t just coverage of a moment; it’s a carefully planned experience built around your love story.
Every proposal session includes:
Photography coverage that begins before the proposal and continues after, allowing space for nerves, reactions, and celebration without feeling rushed
Dedicated video coverage by a video/content creator, preserving movement, sound, and emotion in a way photos alone can’t
Drone footage when conditions allow, adding a sense of place and scale to the story
A personalized keepsake from your session, thoughtfully chosen to mark the moment
Optional props and details, used intentionally to enhance the experience — never distract from
Guided planning support before the day, so you’re never guessing about location, timing, or flow
Proposal sessions begin at $600, which includes 20 professionally edited, high-resolution images with print release, with the option to add additional images or upgrades.
What makes these sessions special isn’t just what’s delivered — it’s the way the moment is handled. From preparation to execution, my role is to ensure you feel confident, supported, and fully present while everything comes together naturally.
They laughed. They danced. They flirted. They stayed wrapped up in each other the entire time. And everything else faded into the background. Smoky Mountains / Gatlinburg, Tennessee
At the end of the film, you’ll see some of the video messages Nathan recorded in the days before the proposal — a little glimpse into just how much love and anticipation led up to this moment.
One of the most powerful parts of this proposal lives beyond what you can see. Peres recorded a personal audio message for Chelsea, woven into the final video — a love letter in his own words, speaking about love, faith, grace, and the life they’re building together.
